Lock #2 is the last lock still operated on the Green River. It provides navigation to Rochester, KY. I could not find a size specification for the locks. [USACE_tag]

(Update: a comment specifies 600x84.)

April 2025 Flood:

We are looking Southish, so the lock is above the bridge. It appears the lock walls are completely submerged. That means the gate and valve machinery got wet and will have to be cleaned when the river goes back down. The bridge is above water, but it is useless because the road is underwater.

Major flooding persists in the lower portions of the Green, Wabash, and mainstem Ohio Rivers.  These will slowly start to recede as all the water in the lowlands and farm fields of the lower Ohio Valley makes its way to the Mississippi.
